Friendship - The ABC of Friendship VALUES: Friendship For this assembly, maybe you could have the letters of the alphabet on cards, with a different student reading each of the sentences. VALUES: Friendship. Friendship is important to all of us. To have friends, one needs to be a friend. Here are some ways to help friendship grow.
Always be honest – tell the truth; own up when you have done something wrong. Be there when they need you – listen to your friends; show them kindness when they are hurting. Cheer them on – encourage them to keep going and not give up. Don’t look for their faults – concentrate on their good points. Every chance you get, call – keep regular contact. Forgive them – don’t hold grudges or try to ‘get them back’. Get together often – spend time together. Have faith in them – trust them and believe in them. Include them – don’t exclude a friend from your group. Just listen – try to hear how your friends feel and what they think. Know their dreams – talk about your dreams for your lives. Love them unconditionally – no matter what they say or do, don’t stop being their friend. Make them feel special – think of ways to show (in what you say or do) how much you appreciate them. Never forget them – keep your promises; keep contact even if they move away to another town. Offer to help – help them with their problems. Praise them honestly – mean what you say. Quietly disagree – talk about your differences calmly. Rescue them often – be a true friend when they need help. Say you’re sorry – apologize when you have said or done something that upsets them. Talk frequently – communicate with them often. Use good judgment – make wise choices together. Vote for them – support them in what they do. Wish them well – want the best for them. X-ray yourself first – examine yourself before you criticize them. Your word counts – keep your promises. Zip your mouth when told a secret – don’t share their secrets with others.
